Welcome to the official GitHub repository powering FreeOSINT.org, a 100% free, ad-free, and open-access platform dedicated to teaching and sharing OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) techniques.
FreeOSINT.org was created and is maintained by B, a long-time advocate for freedom of information, digital empowerment, and individual safety through knowledge. This site and all of its materials are built on the foundational belief that powerful investigative skills and tools should not be locked behind paywalls, corporate control, or gatekeeping.
“Information is power. When you give people the tools to see the world more clearly, you make them safer, stronger, and freer.” — B
FreeOSINT.org exists to democratize access to these tools, equipping individuals, activists, journalists, and researchers with the ability to conduct ethical, informed investigations using only open sources.
This GitHub account serves as the source of truth for everything published on FreeOSINT.org. It is actively used to:
- 📘 Write and update OSINT tutorials: Covering a wide range of topics from basic Google Dorking to advanced geolocation, social network analysis, and threat attribution.
- 🧰 Develop open-source OSINT tools and scripts: Designed to be easy to run, modify, and integrate into personal workflows.
- 🌐 Maintain the infrastructure behind the website: Including HTML/CSS, markdown content, automation scripts, and backend functionality.
- 🗂️ Curate community-driven resource lists: Including vetted toolkits, browser extensions, APIs, and real-world case examples.
Everything in this repository is part of an ongoing effort to grow and evolve FreeOSINT.org as a living, breathing library of practical intelligence knowledge.
